There are multiple options to enable SSL:
* using [letsencrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/)
* using [letsencrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) (recommended)
* using self-signed certificates with the provided tool
## let's encrypt
After installation, you can test your setup with [checktls.com](https://www.checktls.com/TestReceiver).
To enable Let's Encrypt on your mail server, you have to add en environment variable `DMS_SSL` with value `letsencrypt` (see `docker-compose.yml.dist`)
You also have to mount your `letsencrypt` folder to `/etc/letsencrypt` and it should look like that:
## let's encrypt (recommended)

Note that the certificate will be generate for the container `fqdn`, that is passed as `-h` argument.

If a matching certificate (files listed above) is found in `postfix/ssl`, it will be automatically setup in postfix and courier-imap-ssl. You just have to place them in `postfix/ssl` folder.
To use the certificate:
